Andrew Wiggins had his much anticipated matchup with LeBron James last night. Although Minnesota was trounced 125-104, Wiggins showed why he was taken as the top pick of the 2014 NBA Draft.
Wiggins finished with 27 points, which outdid LeBron’s 24. Wiggins has already faced Kobe twice this year. When asked about facing LeBron, he had an interesting remark.
I asked Wiggins if LeBron was most challenging matchup for him so far b/c of his strength and he replied that Kobe's been toughest so far

Maybe Wiggins is still feeling some type of way about LeBron being the main reason for him being traded or maybe he’s paying homage to Kobe for his excellent footwork. Either way, LeBron and Kobe stans will have fun with this quote from the young Wiggins.
